Al Wakrah coach Marquez Lopez spoke to the media ahead of their QNB Stars League Week 5 match against Umm Salal.

“All games are difficult in the QNB Stars league, not just the next one against Umm Salal. However, our team is well-prepared to meet Umm Salal. I am happy with my players’ performance so far.

“I am satisfied generally with my team’s performance. We will play in the fifth round against a team similar to us. I have warned the players of the opponents, who are a good team even though they have only one point.

“Our goal is to win and improve our position in the table. The most important thing for me is the balance between attack and defence in our games, so we can achieve what we are looking for,” said Marquez.
